Starting with a song that came to him in dream, DJ McSchmormac then continued with a fantastic selection of sound reproductions from 1950 or earlier, including a few of this week’s birthday people, like Charlie Poole in the picture there, of whose recordings, not one, but a fantastic two, were played! . Gramophoney Baloney’s also had the wonderful good fortune of being mentioned on the Magnet Music site here, by guest editor Zach Miller, keyboardist of the band Dr. Dog – which is the first media coverage the show has gotten – besides Gramophoney Baloney/McSchmormac’s own social media (facebook page, tumblr and twitter) of course!

It was a soft day in The Mission, but it would take more than a few drops of rain to keep D.J. McSchmormac and his magical bag of CDs away from Radio Valencia and its fantastic listeners, including chatterbox participant Irishjig who happened to mention the very biscuits McSchmormac’s late father loved the most – Jammie Dodgers!
